The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of domoic acid (DA) a potent neurotoxin, responsible for the syndrome amnesic shellfish poisoning (ASP) contamination of various species of bivalve shellfish purchased from fish market in Korea and the implications for food safety. Liquid chromatography (LC) methods were applied to quantify DA in shellfish after sample clean-up using solid-phase extraction (SPE) with strong anion exchange (SAX) cartridges. Toxin detection was achieved using photodiode array ultraviolet (LC-UV) and electrospray ionization-mass (LC-ESI-MS). DA was identified in 4 bivalve shellfishes of 872 shellfishes collected from March, 2006 to October, 2007 in Korea. DA amount of 3 surf clams (Mactra veneriformis) collected at Seoul, Daejeon, and Daegu were 4.13, 1.99, and 1.94 mg/kg, respectively. DA amount of 1 pink butterfly shell (Peronidia venulosa) collected at Seoul was 3.02 mg DA/kg. The amounts of DA that were present in 4 bivalve shellfishes were within EU guideline limits for sale of shellfish (20 mg DA/kg).

In this study, the eating out behavior and recognition of salinity in restaurant food in Jecheon area were examined. Demographic characteristics of the subjects, eating out behavior and perception of salinity in food purchased in restaurants were surveyed. Also salinity of the high Na-containing menus were measured using salimeter. Exactly 51.6% of the study subjects usually ate out more than one to two times per week. A large percentage (88.6%) of the subjects mentioned that they ate more than half the amount of liquid in their dishes. The study participants recognized that the salt concentrations of stews, soups and noodles in their orders were high. JJamppong was recognized as the most salty among nine kinds of eating out menus, whereas mulnaengmyeon was the least. Although the recognized salt concentration of mulnaengmyeon was relatively low, this dish had the highest salinity out of nine eating out menus. Relative salinities of eating out menus were higher than absolute salinity mostly except yukgaejang. It is necessary to supply exact nutrition information and widely implement nutrition labeling. Furthermore, consumers should personally be careful to limit consuming food with high sodium levels when dining at restaurants and eat less liquid in dishes.

The new anti-impotency analogue was identified in food source. Detection of this analogue was accomplished through screening of food samples by liquid chromatography/photodiode array detector. The spectrum pattern of analogue compound was similar to that observed for hongdenafil which was analogue of sildenafil. This new compound was isolated and purified using the liquid-liquid extraction, thin layer chromatography, column chromatography and preparative HPLC. And then those structure were identified using analytical instruments such as HPLC/PDA, LC/MS/MS and NMR. The compound was given a name to oxohongdenafil which was replaced with acetyl oxoethylpiperazinyl residue instead of sulfonyl piperazine group of sildenafil. The regulation for the abovementioned analogue, oxohongdenafil, was established by Standard of Korean food code.

The addition of 5% NaCI to standard plate count (SPC) and bromcresol purple (BCP) agar showed the highest viable cell counts for Jeot-kal samples. The use of 15% glycerol as cryoprotectant showed the highest microbial survival rate at both temperatures, $-20^{\circ}C$ and $-170^{\circ}C$, and on both colony count media, SPC and BCP. During the aging, the pH of Bajirak Jogae-Jeot (fermented clam) decreased from 6.8 to 5.0. Crude protein content was 10% for Bajirak Jogae-Jeot and $6{\sim}7%$ for Myeolchi-Jeot (fermented anchovy). Microbial population of Bajirak Jogae-Jeot was $10^9\;CFU/g$ after 4 weeks of aging, but was only $10^{3-5}\;CFU/g$ in the case of Myeolchi-Jeot. The proportion of Gram positive and catalase negative bacteria in Bajirak Jogae-Jeot increased drastically during the 4 weeks of aging, which showed typical lactic bacterial fermentation. After 2 years' storage of Jeot-kal in liquid nitrogen tank, the cell counts of total aerobic or lactic bacteria were decreased, resulting in about 10% survival rate. Microbial floral change of Jeot-kal was also investigated. In the case of Bajirak Jogae-jeot, the ratio of rod to cocci and that of Gram negative to positive increased after liquid nitrogen storage. But, rod to cocci ratio of Myeolchi-jeot decreased after liquid nitrogen storage. The ratio of yeasts decreased in both cases after storage.

The extraction method and quantitative analysis for the fat-soluble vitamins present in food stuffs and vitamin products have been investigated. The simultaneous separation and analysis of the vitamins by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatographic method was conducted using an isocratic elution with methanol : water (95 : 5) eluent on a Novapak $C_{18}$ column. The detection of vitamins was achieved by a variable wavelength UV detector. To improve the detection sensitivity detection wavelengths were set at the highest absorption bands such as 330, 265, 285, and 290nm for the respective vitamins. The analysis for the fat-soluble vitamins was finished within 40 minutes. Alkaline hydrolysis and enzymatic hydrolysis were investigated for the sample preparation; and liquid-liquid extraction and liquid-solid extraction were attempted for the extraction of vitamins. Both hydrolysis methods were turned out to be appropriate for the analysis for vitamins A, D, and E, while for the analysis of vitamin K the enzymatic hydrolysis method demonstrated better results. Diethyl ether, pentane, and n-hexane were found to give higher recovery for the liquid-liquid extraction and silica cartridge for the liquid-solid extraction.

To support beneficial effects of makgeolli for human health, we investigated for the presence of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), a bifidogenic growth stimulator (BGS), from commercial makgeolli products. Among eleven makgeolli products (A~K), four showed positive peaks for DHNA in high performance liquid chromatography analysis. Makgeolli product A in particular contained the highest concentration of DHNA (0.44 ppm), as confirmed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Furthermore, BGS activity of the makgeolli product A was higher than those of products in which DHNA was not detected. These results indicate that makgeolli can be a good source for DHNA and that DHNA-enriched makgeolli could be developed by modifying manufacturing procedures and controlling its microbiota.

Food intake and swallowing are complicated and intriguing series of movements involving voluntary and involuntary activities of cranial and spinal nerves and muscles. They have two most important functions, that is, food passage from the oral cavity to stomach and airway protection. Tongue, buccinators, and hyoid bone and its muscular attachments are anatomic structures for swallowing of special interests. The swallowing process of liquid is commonly divided into oral preparatory, oral propulsive, pharyngeal, and esophageal stages according to the location of the bolus. The movement of the food in the oral cavity and to the oropharynx differs between eating solid food and drinking liquid.

The objective of this study was to compare 3 extraction methods including, solid phase extraction (SPE), acetonitrile extraction, and methanol extraction, for their usefulness as extraction methods to determine capsaicinoids. The determination of capsaicinoids in the extracts was carried out on a reverse-phased high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a fluorescence detector. Three extraction methods, i.e., SPE, acetonitrile extraction, and methanol extraction were compared for the quantification of capsaicinoids using raw peppers and pepper powder. The highest analytical values were observed using methanol extraction and the lowest values using SPE. Also, the analytical method validation parameters such as accuracy, precision, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, and specificity were calculated to ensure the method's validity. This method provides a fast and accurate approach for the determination of capsaicinoids in peppers.
